Guest Testimonial

We were delighted with Lynne Cooke. She was efficient, friendly and mostly took note of what we wanted and did her best to accommodate our request. She always replied to all our emails and phone calls promptly.

- KB, London

Dating back to the 1880s, The Oberoi Grand, was known as the 'Grand Dame' of Kolkata. Throughout the property the colonial influences remain with chandeliers illuminating the ornate corridors and British-style street lamps around the swimming pool. Its central gardens in colonial times would be transformed into a dance floor or ice rink during the lavish parties that were held here. From the rooms there is a choice of looking out onto Kolkta's bustling markets or into the tranquil gardens. After a busy day sightseeing, relax in the Chowringhee Bar where jazz is still played as it has done for centuries.

Best time to be there

From October to March the weather is refreshingly cool with minimal rainfall in most places. India's main festivals also take place during this time, such as the Pushkar Fair in Rajasthan, the Republic Day of India and Holi, the festival of colours.

In Search of Tiger

This trip, combining three of India’s most scenically spectacular and wildlife rich national parks, offers an almost matchless opportunity to see wild tigers, as well as a wealth of other fascinating animals.
